This begins the epic thread of dealing with the wine my father left me. This will probably take me days / weeks.

All wine was stored in in his house in So Cal, either the garage or the non-A/C living room. One bottle stored over the wall oven. 😳

No doubt this is happening all over. It's even more important to support Latino businesses, and really any that are in the crosshairs by group or by support for them.

Latino-owned businesses throughout Oregon are experiencing increasing threats, declining customers and more fear in their communities. In response, Latino business owners are finding ways to feel safe despite the growing presence of federal immigration agents in the state.

Increased ICE presence takes a toll on Oregon’s Latino businesses

Utterly fascist - beyond "papers please".

Gotta believe there are going to be lawsuits over this.

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

Not only does this seem to be a violation of due process and other constitutional rights but some serious data privacy issues as well!

Listen up Dem states!

Show them who actually cares about whether or not people are fed.

Washington's food banks will soon receive $2.2 million a week in state funds to deal with an expected influx of people who will be cut off Saturday from food stamp benefits in the wake of the federal government shutdown.

Washington directs state dollars to food banks as SNAP funding cliff nears

The Trump administration says it can’t fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, starting Saturday, despite billions of dollars in reserves. This is expected to send Washington’s SNAP recipients to local food banks and pantries to feed their families.

To be fair, the levels of MAGA derangement about a lot of things are truly off the charts.

Seriously. The most ignorant person in DC.

I'm just shocked the WP headline is nearly accurate (a "federal" dc task force).
